Finally, after much investigating, we have dis- covered why Don is so quiet in school. Al- though, in person, he is usually at school, his mind keeps wandering to Emsworth. WILLIAM HOWARD GORMLEY Bill Play Committee '263 Hi-Y '24, '25, '26, '27': Secretary of the Hi-Y '27: Class Treas- urer '27: President of the Student Council '27: Treasurer of the Athletic Council '27l Science Club '27: Baseball Manager '27s Avalon Annual Staff '27: Travalon Staff '27. Bill must be trusted very much by his school- mates, for they have elected him treasurer of al- most every organization. They chose the right one, for Bill is dependable and an earnest worker. MARY ELIZABETH GUNN Mary G. R. '24, '25, '26, '27: Science Club '24, '26, '27: Choral Club '26. Mary is just a little quieter than any other girl we know, but, for all that, she must have nerve, for she has let her hair grow and she can also drive a car. HELEN MAE HAI-IN Helen G. R. '24, '25, '26, '27: G. R. Cabinet '27: Choral Club '24, '25,.'26: Science Club '24, '26, '27: Travalon Staff '27. Helen should make a good housekeeper some- day, judging from the excellent meals she plan- ned and prepared while head of the G, R. Sup- per Committee in 1927. Good luck to her! ll I 'l 23 l l JULIA ELIZABETH HARIGAN Julia G. R, '26, '27g Science Club '26, '27: Choral Club '26. Julia, one of our small senior maidens, in spite of her curly red hair seems quite shy. She is known for her very sweet smile which she has ready for every one on all occasions, lXfllLDRED SARAH HARNER Mild G. R. '24, '25, '26: Choral Club '26: Trav- alon Staff '27, Avalon Annual Staff '27. Mildred is one of the literary aspirants of the class. A number of her poems have already been published in the Travalon, and she has even written a short novel. Mildred received a medal this year as winner of the Oratorical Contest. She was one of our real students . and her marks repaid her for the time she spent in study.

There is some fascination about the name Bungie because down at the football games one could hear the senior girls shouting, Bun- gie . He worked very earnestly in football and baseball practices.

'27, Science Club '25, '26, '27, Choral Club '26. Martha is quite different from her chum, Mary. In fact, she talked so much in Eco- nomics that no one else had a chance. She was some chatterbox.

She is our class artist and quite an actress. Just ought to hear her say, Boom, boom. ELEANOR RUTH Moss Eleanor G. R. '24, '25, '26, '27: Choral Club '27. A rolling stone gathers no moss, but Eleanor gathers a number of roly-poly little b b' a ies around her every week at Sunday School. She ha ' ' s a way with the children. 26 WILLIAM Moss Bill Play Committee ' 2 7. Our class is noted for its red heads, and Bill is among those who are famous. William was assistant business manager for the senior play. He and Eleanor are among the seniors, who are not heard but felt. PERRY JACK MURPHY Perry Perry, a New Yorker , is the latest addi- tion to the senior class of 1927. He came all the way from Utica, and the students were very glad to welcome him into their number. GEORGE MERLIN NEWELL Noogle Hi-Y '24: Orchestra '24, '25: Football '26: Cheer Leader '25, '26: Avalon Annual Staff '27 Noogle is Henry Fords most ardent follower in Avalon. Every day he rattles to and from school, happy in the possession of his beloved Ford. Very fortunate is anyone who may ride in that car. MARY LUCILLE OLIVER Lucille G. R. '24, '25, '26, '27: Class Play '27. Lucille has a great deal of musical ability which she sometimes displayed at play practice. As Katie, Lucille was surely a success. We will all remember her as a true classmate. I 2 MARY CHRISTINE PARK Mamie Operetta '24, '25, '26, '27: Class Secretary '25: Science Club '25, '26: G. R. '24, '25, '26, '27: G. R. Cabinet '26: President of the G. R. '27: Girls' Basketball Manager '27: Choral Club '24: Travalon Staff '27: Ava- lon Annual Staff '27. Mary always had a telephone call to answer whether at school or at home-not always about basketball either. We could not have wished for a better Girl Reserve President. ERNEST ALEXANDER REEVES Ernie Ernie frequently dons Mr. Morneweck's apron and concocts many mixtures in the labor- atory. He arouses our curiosity, but never in- forms us what it is he is making. ROBERT CHARLES SCI-IEIB Sche1'b Science Club '24, '25, '26, '27: President of the Science Club' 26: Choral Club '24, '26, '27: Class Play '27: Avalon Annual Staff '27: Valedictorian. Scheib is our most brilliant chemistry and math student. He rather bewilders the rest of the class with his quickness in solving prob- lems and completing courses. LUCIAN AUGUSTUS SCHMUCKER i'Smuck Class President '24: Class Treasurer '26: Football '26: Hi-Y '24, '25, '26, '27: Base- ball '26, '27: President of the Athletic Council '27: Student Council '27: Class Play '27: Avalon Annual Staff '27, Smuck in the role of The Youngest scored a great hit, not only in school but also with the townspeople. Many stricken hearts followed after the play. He is an excellent student, one whom we are proud to have as a member of our class. 28 VIRGIL DAVIS SCOTT Scotty Science Club '24, '25, '26: Stage Manager of Operetta '26s Cheer Leader '27: Electrician Senior Play '27: Hi-Y '24, '25, '26, '272 Avalon Annual Staff '27.

Jack has been kept thin getting advertise- ments. If it had not been for him, the Trava- lon would have had no finances. During basket- ball season, he was the busiest man in town. ROBERT TRACEWELL SHEPLAR Shep I-Ii-Y '24, '25, '26, '27: Treasurer of I-Ii-Y '27: Basketball '24, '25, '26, '27: Basket- ball Captain '27: Football Manager '26: Baseball '24, '25, '26, '272 Baseball Captain '27: Athletic Council '24, '25, '26, '27. Shep is our basketball star. He has earned three letters and this year was captain. Some day, he should be a very good jeweler after all his experience in dealing with senior rings. And, judging from the number of his dates, Shep is quite a sheik. FLORENCE MAXINE SHOUPE Fez Play Prompter '26: G. R. '24, '25, '26, '27: Choral Club '25, '26, '277 Operetta '25, '26, '27: Science Club '27. 'Florence starred yearly in the operettas. As Cousin Hebe, she made a hit with the school.

Smitty , although she wears no ilded 8 sleeve for her accomplishments, has surely ac- complished much. She was leading lady in the senior play and in two operettas, and has dis- played her literary ability both in The Travalon and the Annual.

There were times when four years seemed a long while, but when you look back over it now. it hardly seems possible that those four years are past and that we are graduates. Mercedes: The time seemed to pass quickly because, along with our work, we had plenty of fun. It was the fun that made the work endurablef' George: i'Right! But I suppose, after all, we'll miss the old routine, not to mention our classmates and teachers. Mercedes: Alasl The high school will never be the same. How the faculty will endure teaching without the brilliant and obedient class of '27, I cannot understand. They have my deepest sympathy. You know, George, we were a model class. George: More or less. Especially this last year, when we tried to run the school ourselves. My modesty forbids a mention of the success of this attempt. At any rate, we have lost the meekness that characterized our first year here at A. H. S. Mercedes: We were funny little kids when we were freshies, weren't we? Remember how important we thought we were, but, oh! how speedily the sophomores removed that very mistaken idea. George: It'll be a long time before I forget the way we paraded up and down California Avenue with our pants rolled up and our socks rolled down. The Sophs carried their belts rather than wore them and any laxity on our part was well rewarded. Most of us ate breakfast off the mantel the next day. Mercedes: Remember how we acted the day we enrolled in high school. A Freshman registering is one of the funniest sights imaginable. I can ap- preciate now how stupid I was. George: 'AI didn't realize just how stupid I was. My registration is a little dim now. But I can remember seeing another Freshman who was in the ofiice at the same time. Of course Papa and Mama had to accompany their prodigy, due probably to the importance of the occasion. Enter: Virgil Scott as Mama, Robert Scheib as Papa. Lucian Schmucker as Sonny, Robert Swaneg as Principal. CExitj Mercedes: We certainly didn't know how to act. George: Say, do you remember the Freshman party. when most of us had our first dates? Funnierl Why, we didn't know what to say or dc. At any rate, that's where we got our start. I think most gf us can dg begat ngwj but I have to laugh yet at some of the dates that night. 34 Enter: Charles Blaney and Dorothy Wz'lzer on their Hrst date at the Freshman party. CExitj Mercedes: We were too bashful then to have a really good time, but we thought we enjoyed it, so l suppose it must have had some attraction. George: But how insufferably conceited we were as Sophomores. We had the idea that we were above all others. l suppose it was quite a big step from the lowly Frosh to the worldly-wise Sophs. Anyway, we strutted our royal dignity for fair. Mercedes: A'Royal dignity sounds good. Some Sophomores had their royal dignity rather sadly shaken. Our actions in study hall and in classes called for some very rude reproofs. Do you remember the day 'il:airy Stern fell asleep in study hall? After lVlr. Perley's treatment, he lost some of his pep. Enter: Donald Garliclz as Stern. He sleeps deeply. Enter: John Caldwell as Mr. Perleg. He sneaks up on the sleeping bog, and shakes him. G rem-5 George: lVlr. Perley certainly could ruin our conceit and make us feel foolish. Fairy wasn't the only one to have such an experience, We all had our little run-ins with him, But after all, you know, he isn't a bad fellow. l-le may have seemed a little hard on us at times, but when you figure it out, l suppose we always got what we deserved, Mercedes: Pinyhow, he let us have a dance, That's quite a distinction, because we were the only Sophomore class original enough to break away from the old custom of having a party or entertainment and to hold a dance. How- ever, the custom died with us. George: That dance wasn't a great nnancial success, but it didn't hinder us from having a good Prom for the Seniors. We had quite a struggle during our Junior year to amass enough gold to put it across, but we finally did it. y Mercedes: Hlt was worth all the effort we put forth for it, though. We couldn't have selected a better place than The Pines , George: l have only one bone to pick over it. The chicken was a trifle too springyf' Mercedes: Everything else was good though. The after-dinner speeches were as all after-dinner speeches shouldn't be. However, there was one funny 35 one, to relieve the monotony. Did you ever stop to think how funny an after- dinner speech could be if the speaker chose to make it so? Enter: Jack Sheplar, giving after-dinner speech. CExitj George: That was some Prom: another thing of which our class can be proud. Mercedes: That may have helped to make us so 'high-hat' the next year. George: 'AI guess it was just the fact that we were Seniors. Mercedes: Actually! At last! It took some hard work to get there, but when we did, oh, wasn't it a 'grand and glorious feelin'? George: I guess we have been even more conceited this year than we were as Sophomores. But then, we had more reason to be. Mercedes: Talk about sophisticated, though! And how we got away with almost everything just because we were Seniors! Teachers or principal held no terrors for us. George: It's too bad, the things we put over on them without getting caught. They did catch us hooking once in awhile, but their dreams of dis- cipline would receive a rude shock if they knew how often they didn't catch us. To some of us, hooking ceased to be an escapade, but merely routine. Enter: Harriet Kinleg and Mary Maize as two high-hat Seniors. Clfxitj Mercedes: And now it's almost over, all our work and fun, and I, for one, am sorry. George: Same here, I had a good time in school and I'd like to come back, but since I can't, I'm glad that we have something pleasant to remember. Mercedes: 'ADon't start sentimentalizing yet, for it's not quite over. We still have our graduation trip to Japan, you know. George: Yes, that's one more glorious time to look forward to. Mercedes: Well, let's go to get ready for our trip. GEORGE DICE MERCEDES LIDDELL 36 FROM THE ORIENT Knowing that you have come from afar to seek your future in the wisdom of the Oriental gods, I have already prepared the enchanted incense from the bones of the great Fire Dragon, His Sing . I immediately see in the flames the president of your class: it seems that he has at last accomplished his ideal in driving something. He is ascending upward at a terrific speed: and at last he stops at the fifty-Hrst floor, for he is running an elevator in the department store of the great Swedish financier, Myrle Sullivan. In the next mirage, I see your class-mate, Florence Shoupe, just finishing her term as the nrst and last woman mayor of Pittsburgh. The Juvenile Court under her reign has flourished with the able guidance of Judge Sarah Smith. Another to become entangled in the mesh of politics is the President of your Student Council, William Ciormley, who has reached the chair of the Burgess of the Borough of Avalon. I now see a very gruesome scene-who should it be but Eleanor Bes- necker enacting the role of Oflicial Embalmer at the Morgue, who is humming the catching refrain, i'To-night You Belong To Us. Dice in the role of a musician appears. As he prepares to take his place beside the piano, a man with a huge truck rolls up with the inscription, 'iDice Piano Mover-Let George Do It . Next in the flame appears Lucian Schmucker, the hit of Broadway, ap- pearing in Mildred I-Iarner's newest tragedy, Abie's Irish Nose . He is ably supported by Miss Jefferys, taking the part of Bouncing Bertha, Carl Herlinger, who has always had a desire to travel, is now paddling around the streets of Venice delivering mail. Looking over his shoulder I see two letters, one for Mr. J R. McCrory, the other for Mrs, Harriet McCrory. As I peer through the window I notice a lack of dishware in their home. This is explained by the presence of such on the floor. But we must turn away from this sad scene, for wifey has scored another bull's eye. The great Virgil D, Scott, who has assumed the presidency of Park In- stitute, has lately been engaged in a series of debates with Ruth Fawcett, Presi- dent of the United Bachlorettes of America. Dorothy Wilzer is now recognized as international expert on what the well dressed woman will wear in 1960, having Eleanor Moss as her blonde model. Dorothy particularly advocates for women, the black hat as worn by Mr. Perley. 37 Jane Degelman seems to be very much interested in the Uplift Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Lucille Oliver is astounding the world with her latest piano compositions dedicated to the class of l927. Amidst the fire and the smoke of the bones of the Fiery Dragon, I get a glimpse of the lights of Broadway. As the curtain -parts I see Rudolphus VJayeksyi, who is no other than Robert Scheib, who is giving his interpreta- tion of Spring in three yards of mosquito bar. The inspiration for his dance is furnished by Bill Moss and his Rolling Stones . The next is a very pastoral scene. It is Mary Maize, International Girl Preserves' Secretary, who is gamboling on the green with her young Girl Pre- servettes. Clara Herlinger, who is running a delicatessen shop, offers to her customers the delicious Murphy's Miserable Meat Cakes. Perry receives his supply from Chick Blaney, Official Dog Catcher of the Borough of Avalon. Bob Sheplar is using his well-known talent as head athletic coach for the boys at Dixmont Tech. Rose Vass has lately been studying under the great Russian Swinette player Ivanawful Itch. Mercedes Liddell is also very well contented, for she is now managing a beauty parlor on the Overland Limited, I see your friend Garlick standing on a platform with a sign above his head A'In Garlick There Is Strength . He is the weight lifter in Reeves's side show of freaks. Reeves is occupying the third cage from the left, as the pink- eyed Ctadongus is sick, and Jack Sheplar, the boy, who always wanted to do things, is now washing elephants for Ernie. Helen Hahn is teaching the terpsichorean art at Avalon High School. Katherine Jones is becoming very popular with the younger people, for she edits the Lovelorn column in the daily Bugle. A very imposing Hgure is before me as I see Mary Blaney handing out diplomas at Cornell where she is dean of women. The flames grow dim, for a sad picture comes before me now: it is the promising young chemist of your class, John Caldwell. who is in a home for Destitute Chemists run by your old friend, Carl David Morneweck. The home is situated on the lofty crest of Mt, Julep. 38 Mary Ciunn has become cheer leader at the Deaf and Dumb School in Soho, Swaney has realized his life's ambition, that of being connected with children, for ie is running a Home for Aged Children. Julia I-larigan is creating quite a sensation around town appearing as a second Edna XVallace Hopper. In the flames I see a vast admiring crowd that cheers as Merlin Newell appears, A special edition of' the paper comes out with the headlines pro- claiming that he, after fifteen years of absence, has returned to the presidency of Beta Kappa. Newell is being congratulated by his former opponents for election, Dice and Clark. Martha Hull is standing on the street corner, pounding on a big drum with much vigor and vim and selling salvation for a nickel. Elsie Wilzer, W, C. T. U, representative, is giving essay prizes to several members of the Freshman Class. John Wright, the boy aeronaut, has lately won the medal for balloon sailing. The journey was made over the dangerous ground lying between West View Park and McKees Rocks, in an attempt to avoid the girls. Claribel Becker, secretary of A. H. S. Student Council, has been greatly interested in the progression of the Student Council movement throughout the world. Carl Stern is now the proud captain of the gunboat, Olive the flagship, of the Peruvian Navy. Mary Park has lately published the greatest Latin book of the age, How to Appreciate 'Virgil', CARL STERN MARY PARK JoHN WRIGHT lVlAR'l'HA HULL 39 CLASS WILL This indenture, made this ninth day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred twenty-seven. To whom these presents may come, know ye that we, the class of '27, of the Avalon High School, being of sound mind at our departure, do bestow our worldly good as follows: All belongings not listed herein to be used for establishing and maintaining a home for aged seniors. The remaining gems of knowledge not already used by seniors, we leave to the underclassmen who, we believe, are sadly in need of information. We will Scheib's dramatic ability and his skill in wasting time in the Laboratory to Charles Jacobs, a promising devotee. We hereby bequeath Ernie Reeves's vocal talents to Lynn Edinger, who we sincerely hope will use them advantageously, To Marion Way we intrust the custody of the chapel piano, hitherto under the dominion of Rose Vass, We bestow Stern's awkwardness and ability to fall upstairs upon Frank Tejan, already an adept in such practices. Garlick's ability to sleep in classes and study hall, we pass on to Bud Painter, who has already shown sparks of genius in that profession. Sheplar's athletic ability, we impart to athlete Beilstein, who we hope will use it successfully. Helen Hahn's silence we leave to Helen Vass, and Harriet Kinley's ability to talk all day and say nothing, we leave to Ida Rex. Dice's good looks, the envy of all underclass boys and girls, we give to Harral Reno. The Broadway Limited, well known to seniors, especially Mercedes Lid- dell, is to be the sole right of Lucy Degelman. To John Feick we leave Wright's ability to avoid girls in general. Feick can use some of this ability from all appearances. To John Luker we grant Scott's skill in leading cheers. Smitty's devotion to Herbert we leave as an excellent example for David Hays and Helen Craig. 40 J McCrory's six feet three we very kindly bestow upon Charles Kerns that they may help him to get up in the world. The flaming locks of Ruth Fawcett are left to Lib Gillespie in order that she may effectively blaze away. As successor to Mary Blaney's typing championship we name Alma Evans to excel all others. 'f A Mary Park's lengthy tresses are to be the property of Lulu Mae Taylor if she will but persevere like her predecessor. Lucian Schmucker's fascinating charm for women we extend to Henry Betcher who has, at his early age, captivated some of the senior girls. The old school building for which we have no further use, we leave to the grade school to use as they see fit. If we have forgotten anything important, all claims should be in the hands of Mr. S. Todd Perley on or before the Hrst day of January, one thousand nine hundred twenty-eight. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hand and seals. CSeal5 RoBERT M, SWANEY CSealj GEoRo15 M. NEWELL Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the said Senior Class, as and for their last will and testament, in the presence of us, who at their request, and in the presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as attesting witnesses and scribes of said document, RoBERT M. SWANEY MERLIN M. NEWELL 41 CLASS POEM Although I am telling this in the same old way- And it always is told on the very same day- It still brings back the thoughts of old, Those dear sweet memories worth more than gold. As we look back we remember with joy That daring, red-haired, freckle-faced boy: The sweet, dainty, blue-eyed lass: And all those jolly good friends of our class. We recall the time when we fell asleep, And Mr. Perley awakened us from slumber deep: When the call of Spring made us skip school, To return the next day feeling much like a fool. These adventures bring back a pang of regret, For our lives with more cares will now be beset. Oh, were it within us Father Time to delay: We're Freshmen! We're Freshmen! most gladly With carefree lives, unmindful of fate, We have been slow to appreciate The opportunities we get in school, Strengthened and backed by the good old rule. To our schoolmates, one and all. We leave everything that's ours, big and small: Although in the future we may go right or wrong, We now as young America shout So Long! we'd say Dorothy Wilzer. 42 CLASS SONGS Tunei Yankee Rose We must leave you now, dear old Avalon High. Happy days with thee are o'er, But We'll always cheer for the blue and gold Now and ever more. Chorus Av'lon High! Goodbye! We now breathe a sigh! But We're glad to say We have reached the final day. Senior Classl We go Whither none can know, But though We leave, We'll never grieve: We'll meet again in dear old Av'lon High. Robert Swaney Tune- 'Till We Meet Again Avalon High, we say goodbye to you, Now is the time We bid a fond adieu. Happy were the days spent with you. Tears, sadness and laughter too: All that now is past, and We are free, And every day is now a memory. So goodbye to you, dear Av'lon High, For we leave you now. Elsie 43 Wilzer 1? AVALON HIGH FOREVER Avalon High School forevermore, There's not a place like unto her, There's Where all the good fellows are, And lovely girls,-are ever there a-singing-singing: Avalon High School forevermore. And all thy sons do shout for thee, Al-le-ge-rhu-ge-rhu-Wahooo-bazoo, bazoo Old Avalon High forever. Avalon High School forevermore, Then wave on high her gold and blue. There We have our greatest joys, There's Where we make-our loudest Avalon High School forevermore.

Q i 1 1 w w l 69 The Girl Reserves Build a house where God may dwell, beautiful, entire and clean, is the motto which carried the Girl Reserves through their successful year. The theme for the year was Builders and it was effectively introduced to the club at an early meeting by Miss Bourn. The Setting up Conference was held at the Central Y. W. C. A. in September at which time the year's program was adopted. The final inter- club meeting was the Spring Conference held at Bellevue. During the year the girls did much work. which was very helpful. At Christmas time clothing, food, toys and scrap books were collected and dis- tributed. Two dozen dolls were dressed by the girls and sent to a home. Just before Easter flowers and candy were sent to a local hospital and to an orphanage. The entertainment in December. featuring three one-act plays. was a social and a financial success. The MTravesty on Julius Caesar was later given by request at different church entertainments. The Senior Girl Reserves entertained the Junior High Club at a novel Poverty Party. Each girl appeared in her oldest attire and the most poverty-stricken looking person received a prize. A unique track meet, including a javelin-throwing contest. ended this glorious evening. The Eaculty-Parent affair was very enjoyable and a number of the parents were present, Every class served one dinner during the year. Miss Herman of the Central Y conducted a series of Lenten Talks during the six Wednesdays of Lent. Her discussions were very beneficial. The girls submitted questions and Miss Herman answered them to the satisfaction of the club. Mrs. O. H. Milligan and Rev. William Orr each visited a meeting and talked to the girls. At the chapel conducted by the Girl Reserves at Christmas time Rev. Hills spoke on 'iWorld Peace. The Social Service committee did Settlement House Work at Vkloods Run. Three girls made weekly trips and conducted classes. The club held its meetings every Wednesday morning during the Chapel period. Cabinet meetings were conducted at the lunch hour every second Tues' day, There were indeed a number of opportunities for the girls to get together. Miss Jackson sponsored the girls throughout the year and was indeed a true friend. The members feel that they have had a most successful year. 70 'WW .1 I l i l i l i l l l 1 l l l 1 i 4 E l x 5 .f f ll THE GIRL RESERVES OFFICERS President .,... .,.,...,... ..., M a ry Park Vice-President . . . . . ,Claribel Becker Secretary .A.,. ,,.....

The weekly meetings were always very well attended and Monty's talks at every meeting were taken to heart. The activities were heartily supported by all the boys. At the beginning of the year, several boys attended the Hi-Y Setting Up Conference at Camp Conequi. In December, the Avalon Club sent a delegation to the Western Pennsylvania Clder Boys' Conference at Wilmerding. The mothers of all the members were invited to one meeting at which Monty reminded the boys of the great debt which they owe to their mother. At another meeting, the High School Faculty was entertained and seemed to enjoy it very much. The Girl Reserves, too, were guests of honor at a dinner given by the Hi-Y. There, the presidents of the two clubs discussed the ideal girl , and the ideal boy . In turn, the Girl Reserves entertained the Hi-Y at a party in the high school. Move Up Forward week was one of the biggest features of the Club's schedule. Several competent men interviewed more than Hfty boys at school. The Week was closed with a local conference which had as its theme 'AThe Obli- gations of Youth , This conference was truly inspiring and a fitting conclusion for U. F. Week. The Mission Chest was another big factor in the Hi-Y work this year. By personal contributions and special performances, the fund for Y. M. C. A. work in China was augmented. The mothers deserve much credit for preparing such excellent meals each Week. However, the members of the club, themselves, were mostly responsible for the splendid accomplishments of the past year, resulting from their great interest and activity. 72 THE HI-Y OFFICERS President . . . .

Montgomery The Student Council A Student Council in Avalon High School was long thought and spoken of but was never actually organized until late in l926, At that time the members were not well acquainted with their duties, and the Council per- formed no actual functions. At the beginning of this year one of the iirst things done by the classes and organizations was to elect their Student Council representatives, They were chosen with great care and when finally the entire body was organized the duties and responsibilities of the members were explained to them. They thus started the year with a definite object: first, that of standing for democracy, fair play, and courtesy among the students, and of promoting the welfare of the school above the selfish interests of the individuals: second, of administer- ing and promoting the extra-curricular activities of Avalon High School: and third, of co-operating with the Faculty and making such recommendations as it believes to be for the good of the student body as a whole. This object was stated in the constitution, drawn up by representatives elected by the student body. Following this purpose to the fullest extent of their ability, no problems or difficulties in the scholastic routine went unnoticed. Any question was fully discussed from all angles and if necessary presented to the Faculty, who can be sincerely thanked for their efforts in helping to make this new organization a success. Not only did the Council solve some of the problems presented this year, but proposed projects, that are to be completed next year, that will be of interest and benefit not alone to the students in the High School but to the residents of the community as well. A program committee was appointed from the Council that planned most of the chapel programs and secured the speakers. The Student Council during the years 1926 and l927 has been a success: and, as it is more fully developed and gains in experience, it will come to a proper appreciation among the students. 74 --- --Q-H ' - -- --1- - , THE STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS President ...A, ,T,..,. .

It is this organizations intention to study things of interest from a scientific view point. ln order to do this the club has had special reports, given by its members, outside speakers, and it has taken sight-seeing trips, The meetings were held every two weeks and were in charge of the Pres- ident, John Caldwell. A committee made up the programs and assigned the topics. Among the interesting subjects presented were those on 'ilvlagic Things We Can Do With Glass, Curious Things People invent, Luminous Bac- teria , and HI-Ioudinif' The material used for the preparation of these was found in different scientific magazines and in chemistry books. Mr. Keller, of the Meter Test Department of the Duquesne Light Com- pany, visited the meeting of November eighth and gave a demonstrated lecture on the different types of meters. The graphic meter which registered vibrations was the one of greatest interest. Mr. Ferguson interested the club with a very pleasing talk on Chemical Warfare. Chemistry played a great part in our recent war, and a future war will probably be conducted entirely by chemicals. The first trip of the year was to l-lorne's to hear and see the talking motion pictures. At this time the electric refrigerator was also observed. A visit to the Rieck-McJunkin Dairy Company showed the members how Ameri- ica's favorite dessert is made. Other educational trips were those to the United States Glass Company, the Clark Teaberry Gum Company, and to the Braun Baking Company. At the beginning of the year ninety-seven people wished to join the Science Club. For convenience the membership was reduced to thirty, and seniors, juniors, and former members were given the preference. The success of the club this year was due to the enthusiasm of the members, the earnestness of the of- ficers, and the help and sponscrship of Mr. Evans. 76 -- --- - -.W-Nr-Y-.f..-1,11-,,f,,,w7T,,,T President . . . .

Although hampered by injuries throughout the season, he put up a fine game at tackle, breaking through at will, and worrying his opponents at all times. CHARLES BLANEY, although the smallest man on the team, filled the posi- tion of left end very capably, putting up a game of which any fellow could be proud. Against Bellevue, his defensive work stood out very commendably. GEORGE DICE, quarterback, showed himself worthy of his A at this responsible position. He kept the team working smoothly at all times and was one of the best ground gainers in the lineup. J MCCRORY, another player to graduate this year, was an important cog in the Avalon machine. At guard and at tackle, he proved himself quite efficient. His fine offensive play aided in many long gains. MERLIN NEWELL worked with Clark at guard. He was hard to stop on defense, breaking through repeatedly, and making a plunge through that part of the line very hard. He played his best at Latrobe. ROBERT SI-IEPLAR was manager of the team and he had no easy job. His duties consisted of keeping the field in good condition, making arrangements for trips, and caring for equipment. He did his work well and is to be com- mended. MILLAR CADDICK, Captain-elect for next year's team, played a line game at fullback this season. He was an excellent line plunger and his passing and kicking ability made him a very valuable member of the 1926 combination. FORD CLARK played a good game at guard. He played his best on de- fense, then left the line and fell to the secondary defense. Here he discouraged an attempt at forward passing in his territory. He will play next year. DONALD FREDERICK filled the keystone position in the line. On defense. he backed up the line very effectively and was valuable in diagnosing the op- ponent's plays. His passing aided a great deal in the team's offensive play. 96 JOHN KELLEY held down the position at right end. He is another lad who made up for his lack of weight by his ability and fight. He was useful, not alone on defense, but as the receiver of numerous forward passes during the season. ROLAND SPRINGER played his second season at half-back and will be available for next year's team. He is a sure and effective tackler and one of the speediest backs Avalon has produced in some time, MILAN BELOHLAVEK, a Sophomore to earn his letter, played a scrappy game at half-back, skirting the ends and rounding up forward passes. His tackling made his defensive game stand out favorably, He has two good seasons ahead, CLIPPCRD SEABER is another player, who will probably show up well in the next two years. At half-back, he made many appreciable gains around the ends. On defense, he played the safety position, returning punts and guard- ing against long passes. SAM CADDICK played at end and tackle at various times during the season, but his real value was at left half-back, plunging the line and giving interfer- ence. He is only a Freshman and will likely develop into a fine player before he graduates. ANDREW REINEI-IR, although a bit light for such a stiff assignment, played a good game at tackle. Always alert, he was able to withstand the attack of most opponents. He, too, is a Freshman and has lots of time to develop. 97 BOYS' BASKETBALL CAPTAIN ROBERT SHEPLAR played a brilliant game at forward. He led Section H in scoring this season. He received the position of forward on the all-section team: also on the all W. P. I. A. L. team. JOHN CALDWELL played a stellar game at guard. He was a decided aid to the Avalon machine in holding down the scoring of its opponents. He was named guard on the all-section team. MILLAR CADDICK played a consistent game at the center position. He played an important part in the Avalon offensive, getting the tip-off and pass- ing accurately. DONALD FREDERICK played both forward and guard. His passing and shooting were good, and he came through in the pinches several times. JOHN HUBBARD played a fine game at guard, working with Caldwell, and forming an effective defense. He was a great aid on the offense, in working the ball up the floor. CLIFFORD SEABER worked with Sheplar at forward, playing a good, snappy game at all times. He led Section II in the scoring of field goals, and received honorable mention on the all section team. CHARLES SPRENKLE was another forward. He was an excellent shot. a snappy and an accurate passer. He put up a peppy game at all times. MILAN BELOHLAVEK was an excellent forward, although handicapped by his small stature. He was fast and scrappy, and put up a good game. MANAGER JACK SHEPLAR deserves a great deal of credit for the way-in which he handled the business connected with basketball. He always made good arrangements for trips and scheduled quite a few non-league contests. CHEER LEADER VIRGIL SCOTT was one of the finest cheer leaders Avalon has had for several years. He was full of pep and had the ability needed to arouse spirit in Avalon rOOt6rS. He will be missed next year. 98 GIRLS' BASKETBALL CAROLINE BARTHELMEH made up for her small stature by an over-abund- ance of fight and -speed. At side center she was ever alert and aided greatly in the offensive attack. ROSE LAUX played a line game at center and side center. She was fast and was a great help in working the ball up to the forwards. LOUISE SIBEL was an excellent center and played a consistent game. She was invaluable due to her ability to get the tip off and for her good passing. FLORENCE STUBBINS played a fast game at forward. She has a good eye for the basket and is clever in eluding her guard. She should prove valuable to the next year's aggregation. LULU MAE TAYLOR is another good forward. She and Florence worked well together during the entire season. Lulu, too, is a good shot and she has set herself a standard to live up to next year. MARGARET HERMES played a fine game at guard. She was never lacking in pep and her playing was an incentive to the other girls. ELEANOR MAIZE deserves a great deal of credit for her work at center. Her passing was good and she got the tip off almost invariably, in that way aiding a great deal on the offense. HILDA TEJAN is another Sophomore, who played a line game this year. She is a good guard and her efforts along with those of Margaret Hermes were instrumental in forming a good defense. BETTY KUESTER was the only Freshman girl to be awarded her A this year. She played several positions, guard, center and side center, but it was at side center that she showed up best. MARY PARK, the manager of the team, performed her duties very well. She made the best possible arrangements for trips and made very agreeable plans with all visiting teams. 99 Football AvALoN 0-W1LK1NsBURo 39 This game was played in a heavy mud, and Avalon was hopelessly out- weighed. However, they put up a game fight throughout the contest. Wil- kinsburg scored twenty-six points the Hrst half and thirteen points the last. AvALoN 7-CoRAoPoL1s 15 Although Avalon showed a big improvement over the Wilkinsburg game. Coraopolis was too much, leading, 9-O at the half. In the second half Avalon rallied, but was unable to overcome the lead of her opponents. AVALON l2-MUNHALL O The Blue and Gold warriors managed to break the losing streak andide- feated Munhall. Avalon scored in the Hrst quarter by straight' line plunging, and in the third quarter by virtue of a long pass over the goal line. AvALoN 0-SWISSVALE 7 This was a hard game to lose. Swissvale scored just a half minute be- fore the end of the first half on a pass over the goal line. Avalon threatened in the last quarter, but was unable to cross the line. AVALON 18-KNoXv1LLE O Avalon completely outclassed the Knoxville High gridders in a fast game. The Blue and Gold scored twice in the first quarter and once in the third. , AVALON O-LATROBE 6 This game was bitterly contested throughout, Latrobe scoring early in the second quarter. Avalon threatened to score in the Hnal period, advancing sixty yards to l.atrobe's eight-yard line before the whistle blew. AVALON 0-SEWICKLEY O 'Both teams showed some fine football, but neither managed to score. Sewickley threatened to score once in the third quarter, while Avalon came within ten yards of victory three times. AVALON 12-BEN AvoN 0 Avalon defeated her traditional rival in a fast game, scoring twice. The first score came in the first quarter after a series of line plunges. The second came in the last quarter by virtue of a blocked kick. AvALoN O-BELLEVUE 13 Avalon was defeated by her most bitter enemy in a hard fought game. Bellevue scored toward the end of the first quarter and again in the last. Avalon came within scoring distance but once, 100 FOOTBALL SQUAD Captain . ....,....,A.,., ,,., , . .CCARL STERN , . ,....

AVALON 23-FREEDoM 15 Avalon won its second league contest, taking an early lead. They led at the half, 10-3 and kept up their offensive without a let-up 'till the end of the game. The contest was featured by good passing and shooting. AVALON 4-BEN AvoN Z5 After two league victories, Avalon lost to Ben Avon by a disastrous score. Despite the fact that it was one-sided, it was a remarkably fast game. Ben Avon displayed a marvelous brand of basketball. AVALON 26-AMBRIDGE 19 The Blue and Gold resumed its winning streak, taking over the Am- bridge quintet. The contest was evenly fought until the end of the first half. From then on, Avalon pulled steadily to the fore and remained there. AvALoN 13-BELLEVUE 19 Avalon was defeated by Bellevue as the result of a flashy second half attack. ln the nrst half Avalon showed a brilliant attack, leading 13-5: but in the second half Bellevue started their scoring machine and forged into the lead. AvALoN 29-SEWICKLEY 38 Avalon met their second straight defeat when Sewickley turned the tables. Sewickley got off to an early lead and led 19-ll at the half. In the second half Avalon came back, but could not overcome Sewickley's lead. AVALON 23-FREEDOM 1 1 In this game Avalon resumed their winning streak and downed Freedom. The game was marked by rough playing. At no time did Freedom overcome Avalon's lead. AVALON 16-BEN AvoN 15 Avalon went into this game determined to cross out the overwhelming defeat Ben Avon had dealt them before, Neither team was able to gain more than a three-point lead at any time. AVALON 33-AMBRIDGE 19 The Blue and Gold machine won its third straight league victory from Ambridge. They took an early lead of 19-9 at the half and maintained it throughout the contest. AVALON 23-BELLEVUE 28 'Bellevue was able to defeat Avalon only by virtue of the big lead they acquired in the first half. Although Avalon staged a remarkable rally, they fell a little short of victory. 102 BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM Captain . . . .....,......,....,.... . ROBERT SHEPLAR Manager .A.. .

Avalon led 7-6 at the half and not until the last quarter did they run up a safe lead. AvALoN 5-SEW1cKLEY 4 The Avalon Reserves set a record low score for the season in this game. The score was 3-2 in Avalon's favor at the half. This lead proved sufiicient to secure victory. AvALoN 13-FREEDOM 1 1 In this game, too, Avalon neglected to score until the second half. They barely led 4-3 at the half, but a quick spurt in the third quarter clinched the victory. AVALON 2O1BEN AvoN 9 Avalon defeated a bitter rival in this game when Ben' Avon fell before them. The score at the half was l5-6, but a good defensive game on both sides prevented scoring in the last half. AvALoN 7-SEWICKLEY 10 Avalon met defeat in a hard fought game when Sewickley proved too much for them. Sewickley went from a 4-4 tie at the half to a 7-4 lead in the third quarter and was able to hold the lead. AvALoN 13-LEETSDALE VARSITY 20 Avalon was just a little outclassed when they met Leetsdale Varsity. They were on the short end of an ll-5 score at the half and showed no im- provement in the last. AVALON 17-FREEDOM 1 1 The Reserves added another victory to their list by their defeat of Free- dom. The score at the half was 4-4, but Avalon broke away to a safe lead in the last half.

AVALON 22-AMBRIDGE 9 Avalon swamped Ambridge in a one-sided affair that lacked interest. Am- bridge was no match for the superior passing and shooting displayed by her opponents. 104 SECOND BASKETBALL TEAM Captain .

Sewickley displayed good passing and shooting. AvALoN 13-BEN AvoN 54 Due to the remarkable shooting by the Ben Avon forwards. Avalon again met defeat. The game was fast and Avalon showed considerable im- provement over their last encounter. AVALON 19-CoRAoPoL1s 37 Avalon met her third defeat at the hands of the Coraopolis girls. How- ever. the Blue and Gold looked more promising than they had previously. They played snappier basketball. AVALON l4-SEWICKLEY 29 A ln the second game with Sewickley, Avalon was able to hold them to a much lower score. Changes in the lineup helped and the passing was un- doubtedly much improved, AvALoN 8-BEN AvoN 35 When Avalon again met Ben Avon, the conditions were much the same as in the first game. Ben Avon played very good basketball and held Avalon almost scoreless. AvALoN 10-BELLEVUE 36 Against Bellevue. Avalon showed an unaccountable slump. They seemed unable to score, while Bellevue was running up the score in a disastrous manner. AVALON 6--CORAOPOLIS 25 Coraopolis took over the Avalon lassies for the second time in the season. holding them to a very low score. Avalon could not seem to ind themselves. AVALON 2 1-Sw1ssvALE 12 Avalon won their first game against the Swissvale girls in an exhibition of basketball. A remarkable spurt in the first quarter placed them well in the lead and they were able to stay there. AvALoN 10-BELLEVUE 3 2 For the second time, Bellevue swamped Avalon. They showed very close guarding and line shooting. Avalon failed to display the same form as they had against Swissvale. AVALON 5-SWISSVALE 10 This game was one evenly fought throughout. Close guarding featured the contest, but the Swissvale forwards were able to find the basket more fre- quently than the Avalonians. 106 GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM Captain . . .

In- experience seemed their greatest drawback. Their defensive game was good. but they fell short in the scoring. AVALON JUNIOR HIGH 7-BEN AVON JUNIOR HIGH 12 Avalon met their second defeat in a hard fought game. Ben Avon seemed too much for them, although they showed an improvement over their first encounter. The game was marred by rough play. AVALON JUNIOR HIGH 8-BEN AVON JUNIOR HIGH 9 This was a hard game to lose. Avalon showed some real basketball and the game was full of thrills. Ben Avon won only in the last minute of play. AVALON JUNIOR HIGH 20-EMSWORTH JUNIOR HIGH 18 Avalon triumphed over Emsworth in an interesting game. Emsworth put up a fine game, but they were no match for Coach WQfK3CH1k,S charges who deserved the victory. AVALON JUNIOR HIGH 4-BELLEVUE JUNIOR HIGH 13 Bellevue was too much for the Avalon lads despite their efforts. The game was a fast one and interesting from start to Iinish.

There were eight lettermen back from last year's team. With new material and some men who were out with in- juries last year, Avalon developed a winning team. Our section this year in- cluded Bellevue, Ben Avon, Sewickley and Avalon, The competition was keen throughout the season. - OUR COACHING STAFF Avalon's coaching staff includes Mr. Wertacnik, Mr. McKain. Mr. Evans, and Miss McEwen. Mr. Wertacnik coached varsity football and baseball and Junior High basketball. Due to his knowledge of football, he built a good team from green material. His baseball team was one of the best in the section. Mr. McKain developed a fine basketball team which captured second place in Section II of the W. P. I. A. L. Mr, Evans had a successful season coaching the Reserve Basketball team and he also developed a moderately successful track team. Miss McEwen's Girls' Basketball team had a rather unsuccessful season, but that was due to the size of the girls on the team and to the more experienced teams they met. 110 CI-IEER LEADERS Virgil Scott James Dice C1-IEERS Alle-gen-ee-gen-ee-gen-ac Fight team fight Alle-gen-ee-gen-ee-gen-ac Fight team iight .

Young Mens Christian Asso tancy ciation Come, let us sing together and be merry the while. Without music school life would be dull, dreary, and monotonous. The day is passed when music may be omitted from any school curriculum. To be educated one must have knowledge of art, of literature, of science and especially of music, because in music, all the arts combine to produce a perfect work. We speak of music as not being an essential. Music in the school is surely a necessity. Does, Good Morning to You, not bring memories of a wonderful first day in school? Who does not remember the other lyrics so dear to one in the primary days along with the merry tunes so beautiful to the childish ears. I-low big we felt when we sang our first part songs! The big boys in the back row took to singing bass as proof of their manliness. From the primary grades as we advance, we grow in our ability to sing and to appreciate the music of the masters. Countries and periods of history are made more vivid through folk music, folk dances, minuets, symphonies, operas and biography of musicians and study of their best known works. When the school career ends and Commencement time comes, the class unites to sing together a last farewell to their school. There is a smile on each face, and a tear in each heart. Perhaps in after years, when thinking back on the high school days, the last singing of the class song will be the tenderest thought. Music speaks to the heart and makes the sweet memories sweeter. The Choral Club has studied and learned only the best of music and, this year, produced a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. Every person in the club had a part in this play. The bashful young boys, who one year make up the chorus, are the bold leading men in the next year. The shy maidens, who in one play grace the inmost scenery, step to the front another year and do the solo parts. This training gives a person poise and self confidence. l-lark!

We Wish to extend our thanks to Mr. Ohl, our photographer, who was very considerate of us, and who thought pleasing us, his success. To Mr, Stark, We also express our appreciation. The Canton Engraving Company deserves credit, for they Were Willing to offer suggestions and did their Work with great satisfaction. We appreciate also the Work of the Thomas Siviter Printing Company. This 'firm did our printing With care, and was eager to please the staff. xWe Wish to thank our advertisers, for with- out their financial contributions the annual would not be possible. Everyone Who has assisted- Thank You. THE ED1ToRs. oiuiuiiiiiiiiiiixciiniuioi 3:1111 151 IN CONCLUSION If aught in these pages Your spirit enrages, Consider before you give voice, This may seem quite rough, But some of the stuff- You really have cause to rejoice. If we had just hinted CWhat some wanted printedj Your fate then indeed would be hard. We said only the best, Suppressed all the rest: The really mean things were disbarred. We think it has snap And we don't care a rapg Just one word, and then we are through Whatever you say, We stood for fair play We didn't tell all that We knew!! 152 Yffx vg .1 ,pf xl ' ll!
